Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Major histocompatibility complex B variability in Korean native chicken breeds
Adaptive genetic variations have direct influences on the fitness traits of the animal. The major histocompatibility complex B (MHC-B) region is responsible for adaptive and innate immune responses in chickens.

Characterization of Major Histocompatibility Complex Genes in Jungle Fowls, Genus Gallus
Chicken major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) is smaller in size and contains fewer genes than does mammal Mhc. To clarify the characters of Mhc genes in junglefowls as the ancestral species of domestic chickens, we analyzed their Mhc class I B-F and ...

BOOST: A fast approach to detecting gene-gene interactions in genome-wide case-control studies [PDF]
Gene-gene interactions have long been recognized to be fundamentally important to understand genetic causes of complex disease traits. At present, identifying gene-gene interactions from genome-wide case-control studies is computationally and methodologically challenging.

Although crucial for the understanding of adaptive evolution, genetically resolved examples of local adaptation are rare. To maximize survival and reproduction in their local environment, hosts should resist their local parasites and pathogens. The major

Transcriptome Landscape of Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts in Human PDAC
AP‐1 family members FOS and JUN regulate the malignant phenotype conversion of normal fibroblasts (NFs) to normal‐like cancer‐associated fibroblasts (nCAFs), while transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) and interferon‐γ (IFNγ) signals triggers the interconversion between classic myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs) and inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs), respectively ...

MicroRNA binding site variation is enriched in psychiatric disorders
Abstract Psychiatric disorders have a polygenic architecture, often associated with dozens or hundreds of independent genomic loci. Most associated loci impact noncoding regions of the genome, suggesting that the majority of disease heritability originates from the disruption of regulatory sequences.

The Major Histocompatibility Complex in Bovines: A Review
Productivity in dairy cattle and buffaloes depends on the genetic factors governing the production of milk and milk constituents as well as genetic factors controlling disease resistance or susceptibility. The immune system is the adaptive defense system
